What is the Daily SEAG question and how does it work?

The short answer

One SEAG-style question each weekday, with my worked answer the next morning, and the week's five by email on Fridays. Each one tells your child why a wrong answer is wrong. It's free, and it takes about five minutes a day.

How it works

  • Each weekday: one SEAG-style question.
  • The next morning: my worked answer, including why each wrong answer is wrong.
  • Fridays: the week's five questions together, by email.

Why a wrong answer matters

Silly mistakes are normal at this age and stage. What matters is whether your child can spot the mistake and put it right, and seeing why a wrong answer is wrong is how they learn to.
